But you have to consider how many points were put up on those teams as well. OSU put up 40 on almost all those teams.

Alright, we'll play that game:

Michigan: Michigan State put up 29 and only gave up 6. Ohio State was a 2 point conversion away from losing and put up 42.

Illinois: Michigan State put up 42 and only gave up 3. Ohio State HAD to put up 60 because they gave up 35.

Indiana: Both teams put up 42.

Purdue: Doesn't matter how many points you put up in a shutout.

Iowa: Ohio State put up 34 and allowed 24. Michigan State put up 26 and allowed 14.

Northwestern: Ohio State put up 34 (don't let the "40" fool you, that was a bizarre backdoor cover) and gave up 30. Michigan State put up 30 and gave up 6

Oh, and that Nebraska game you mentioned? Michigan State put up 42 points in Lincoln.
